Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ruokolahti

Terrific cottage with all the possible amenities, including two saunas. One of them has windows looking over the lake. Spacious, excellent construction and quality wood furnishings, and your own dock with boat and rentable gear. The lake is the perfect size - not too large, not too small. The owner is highly responsive and provided a full list of potential activities and potential restaurants.

If you're out for modern pampering, this is not for you.But if you want ti be alone by the lake, without a shower and regular toilet, but wit a row boat, wood fired sauna and hot tub, compost toilets (but also electricity, full kitchen, cellular coverage and tv) and most if all the amazing beauty around (incl. mosquitoes) memorable, then definitely go fir it. we had a wonderful time.

We enjoyed the privacy and the beautiful snowy scenery to Lake Simpelejarvi. The host had made us a hole into the lake from the jetty, which we enjoyed dipping into the icy water “avanto” was a great experience :)

We are company of nine friends and every year we have bicycle hike in some great location. This year we chose Lappenranta area. We spent three days at Viktor's place and it was great vacation. The location, sauna and terrace are amazing. The house is spacious and the host was very helpful.

It is beautiful and restful place near lake. The house had everything you need for relaxing by the lake (boat, sauna, grill), it is well-equipped house. I totally recommend it.

We spent 2 weeks in the house. The house is huge. Paradise for children. Large and beautiful territory. There is an apple tree and a plum tree. The lake is 15 minutes walk or 3 minutes by car. A magnificent public beach is 10 minutes drive from the house. Lots of mushrooms and berries. We recommend it with all our hearts.

An unforgettable experience! The house is built in a typical Finnish style, including a large terrace, sauna, kitchen with everything you need and three beds. There were 5 of us, and the stay was lovely. Anne welcomed us very warmly and explained everything to us at the beginning of our stay. The fishing boat and fresh eggs from the hens were a real plus. We'll be happy to go back!

Comfortable cottage with nice space. Swim access to the ski slope from the lower station about 300m from the pier. It was peaceful in every way.

Very peaceful cabin in a beautiful surrounding. The lakeside sauna and the shallow lake made it ideal for swimming and relaxing. The amenities at on the site are very useful and a nice addition, from the bbq area to the rowing boats available. The area itself is lovely and there is a great 8km jogging/walking route around the lake, through the surrounding forests and fields. Overall a really nice stay!

All great, a cozy little place with tons 8f character. Exactly as described. Recommended.

Treasure in the lap of Lake Saimaa - atmospheric, beautifully decorated log buildings and good amenities. The gentle steam of the sauna, swimming with the cleanest feet, and the perfect hangouts and dining spaces crowned the experience. And Marja-Tertu's heartfelt welcome with clear instructions made me feel welcome in a summer paradise. We enjoyed it and recommend!

I had the most lovely few days at the White House in Parikkala. David is an extremely kind, helpful and attentive host, who ferried me to and from the station, was always on hand to help with any questions I had and even rescued me when I got stranded out on the lake in his boat! The house is spacious, very comfortable and well kept, and the area is full of exciting things to explore for anyone who loves nature! I would highly recommend a stay here.

The perfect Finnish cottage experience.

The accommodation is cozy,very well equipped, tidy. Very perfect for us.

Place was excatly as listed, clear instructions, middle of nowhere, peace, nature, good for large groups.

Visa & Noora were very gracious hosts. They responded to messages very quickly and comprehensively. Their instructions were also extensive and varied. The place is really nice and quiet, so we got to ourselves. Very good for a large group with space for everyone and things to do! Strong recommendation for hosts and the listing!

The house was exactly what we were looking for: a cabin in the middle of the woods, in full contact with nature, perfect for admiring the lake area. We were right on a lake practically everything to ourselves, we also took a nice ride on the lake with the rowboat (there was also the engine but we didn't use it) and the sauna all to ourselves! Awesome!!! In the evening, eating outdoors in silence was wonderful. When we returned to the house we turned on the fireplace, beautiful. The children especially appreciated the darts and the pier on the lake. The house had all the comforts, even if the bathroom was external and organic: a hole with a bucket underneath, where you had to throw fertilizer between times, but it was all reported and it was also fun! The only problem was the cleanliness, because the house was not very clean, but so in the middle of the woods we could safely bear: we cleaned a little and adapted. In general, I highly recommend it!!
